McVey Bradley University/University of VirginiaAbstractOur paper will revisit a method that was first introduced at Yale University in the late 1950s by Bowerand Schultheiss in their linear control textbook, Introduction to the Design of Servomechanisms.Control system design normally requires several design iterations in a simulation environment to meet aset of system specifications.

A highly simplified system block diagram, reasonable for the purposes here, forclosed-loop operation, is as shown in Figure 2. Details of block diagrams, Laplacetransforms, and other issues related to system analysis will not be included here, asnumerous controls textbooks, such as the text by Nise6, are available with in-depthdiscussions. In Figure 2, G(s) is the plant transfer function, Y(s) is the piston position,X(s) is a valve opening position, R(s) is the command input signal (r(t) is a specifiedpiston position as a function of time), and Gc(s) is a selected compensator transferfunction. The valve opens and allows fluid to flow, which moves the piston in

AbstractThis paper presents coupling the use of the TINA circuit simulation software with theMathcad mathematical software. This coupling permits students to simply (1) enter a circuit inTINA diagramatically, (2) export its symbolic solution y(t), or its transfer function, Y(s), to aMathcad file, and (3) plot these solutions for multiple values of a parameter (e.g. R) on a 2-Dor 3-D graph.

reconsider the role that spatial skills actuallyplay in training engineers. This paper argues that spatial skills testing and training interventionsare a misuse of the time and energy of people who want to help women and other historicallyexcluded students succeed in engineering. We must reframe our interventions withoutperpetuating deficit models about cognitive abilities like “spatial skills,” a construct which, inspite of its wide popularity in the STEM education community, has been very poorly formulated.References[1] S.

Sincethese devices are readily available to most students and teachers, experiments can be set up at lowcost while generating interest and motivation for learning.The smartphone app called Phyphox™ is used to record the accelerometer readings and report theearth's acceleration of 9.81 m/s² while the phone is resting (which is what we call "Accelerationwith g"). In contrast, the physical acceleration is zero when the phone is resting (or moving at aconstant speed), so there is a virtual sensor that subtracts the constant acceleration (usually by takinginto

Community Engagement Division

?AbstractService-learning (S-L) has been integrated into an average of 30 engineering courses every yearsince 2004 in five undergraduate departments. Forty-three faculty members have tried S-L, overhalf the engineering faculty. In 2010-2011, 1267 students (out of an enrollment of 1600) engagedin S-L projects in 33 courses contributing an estimated 49,500 hours to the community. Thisapproach to trying to develop better engineers and more engaged citizens was motivated by thegrowing body of research showing widespread benefits of S-L, the meeting of academicobjectives through addressing real community needs in credit-bearing courses. But what do thestudents who are part of this program think about S-L? In this study surveys of student viewswere collected
